Probate Lead Sources: From Courthouse to CRM in 48 Hours
Leads Workflow Data

Map a filed case to a clean, actionable record fast—without bad data or wasted time.

Why Speed + Accuracy Matter

  • Faster intake means earlier conversations with decision‑makers and better outcomes.
  • Data hygiene protects your brand and reduces return‑to‑sender and wrong‑number rates.

Intake to Delivery in 6 Steps

1) Intake

Pull filed cases from the courthouse with key fields: PR, case #, address if available.

2) Enrich

Append contact info, relationships, property details, and basic comps.

3) Verify

De‑dupe, validate addresses, and confirm phones/emails; flag gaps.

4) Score

Prioritize by authority issued, vacancy, equity/condition, and distance.

5) Route

Push clean records to your CRM with owner, stage, and next steps.

6) Track

Log outcomes, bounces, and feedback to improve the next batch.

48‑Hour Playbook

  1. Day 0: pull filings and create an intake sheet; assign enrich/verify tasks.
  2. Day 1 AM: complete enrichment; verify contact and address; score motivation.
  3. Day 1 PM: import to CRM; create tasks and a simple letter batch.
  4. Day 2 AM: mail letters; call PR for quick introduction; log outcomes.
  5. Day 2 PM: schedule follow‑ups and tag issues to fix in the next run.

First Contact Scripts

Intro: “I help families sell property during probate. Not calling to list—happy to share a short checklist and options when you’re ready.”

Verification: “Is this still the best mailing address for simple info?”

Assets

  • Validation checklist (de‑dupe, NCOA, phone/email checks).
